Mirthae

Hello everyone, and welcome to this blog dedicated to teaching you about my world, Mirthae! Basically, it was created by the goddess named Merthicz (In the profile picture), as a gift for the demon Erebos, who made the ivierae species. Feel free to drop by and ask questions of any kind. The world is fantasy, BTW! My main blog: demonicmiracles OC blog: colonyofcharacters Comission blog: kenjiiundart The continents created were done with the help of this map generator: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/demo.html

In many ivierae cultures, a young elf's right of passage is to learn to throat sing, and then perform a song for the whole village. Despite the importance of this tradition, the exact reason of how it came about is unknown. It is believed that it's to honour an ivierae who, during the great Human-Ivierae War, used throat singing to bring peace to the human soldiers, to encourage them to stop fighting. If the young elf's father or male guardian approves of the performance, then the iverae will be considered an adult, given a cae (a single coloured, button up hoodless poncho), and they can decide themselves a first name to be referred to as from there on out.

Made a version of the Mirthaean map with showing the provinces!

An updated map of Mirthae.

This time around, I didn't rely on a generator for help!

I've created a Worldanvil page!

I'd find it to be easier storing info on there, so there will be plenty o' link sharing from now on.. But that doesn't mean I won't post stuff locally here!

Not sure where to start on the page? Perhaps the article on thr ivierae species would be a good start: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/mirthae-artisticarmoury/a/ivierae-article

Q&A

I want to become more active on this blog, but I can’t think of a lot to post at the moment.. So! I’ll answer any questions you have about the world and anything regarding the canon it takes place in!

Here’s the symbols for the human language! Top is how they’re written out in the language, middle is how you pronounce it, and bottom is how they’re written out in letters. And the vowels are all in red. I’ll post the symbol combos in just a sec!

[worldofmirthae]

Here they are! Vowels can only combine with consonants, and not other vowels.

Looks kinda like Hindi

I was trying to make an abugida-like language, which is what Hindi is, and I also kinda borrowed the line, haha, so I don't blame you for thinking that. :b

[elvenobsidianarts]

Currently making a language for the humans in Merthic!

I’m doing the palette challenge by @nicoriku ! I chose Seafoam for Eilis, the royal servant and advisor for the Highking. Why is he sad? Why did I choose seafoam for him? Here’s a hint: The Little Mermaid, but in the original story. ;0

I slightly updated Merthicz! I really disliked her original skirt design, so I went for something that looked more natural. I also gave her more Jewellery, changing it from gold to silver. I’m also thinking for her voice claim, that it would be a mix of Jennifer Hudson and Lisa Hannigan (In her Blue Diamond role).

From birth, orcs are given a fox to which they are soul bonded with.

This bond is very sacred to the orcs, and they certainly show it with their strict laws. For example, an orc cannot leave the village without their fox buddy, and generally, are expected to be with them all the time and an orc will be sentenced to death if they try to mess with the bonds in any way, such as either trying to severe it, or kidnap other foxes and claim as their own.

It's thought to be that foxes are an extension of their orc companions. So perhaps there was an orc who lead a life of crime, their fox would follow their lead in lieu of being the voice of reason. It is especially telling of what kind of character an orc is if their fox has sentience!

It is unknown why, but foxes having varying levels of sentience. It can range from just regular animal sentience, to full on human sentience. One such theory for why this is, is that in the fox's past life, they may have either been important or not. The more important they were, the more sentience they have. This theory was brought up by a fox who claimed to come from another universe in his past life , leading the life of an emperor.

What started out as a simple landscape painting, gradually became this. I really love it, honestly. And if you’re curious, the setting is in Jyalb by the orc villages, in my fantasy world. A buncha blob demons decided to cause trouble for them, especially the elder.

I finished Steampunk Era Garbone! Look at that happy boy. uwu At this point, Garbone is allowed to leave the Demon Embassy, and decides to go explore. Since slavery is still kinda a thing, mainly in the city in Symilf, he decides to free as many slaves as possible. To protect his identity, he’s known as Yuo'al Yesusti (pronounced: Yu-o-all Yes-oo-ste) in the city, and other places Hyal guards. It translates to “After Justice” in the median tongue (AKA, the language people use in Merthic).

After a lot of frustration, I finally finished this! You guys can also buy merch of this on my redbubble shop!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/demonicmiracles/works/25248253-stained-glass-fyayn?asc=u&ref=recent-owner

Write a story that’s pure and beautiful but the last sentence makes it deeply disturbing.

"From the moment I saw you, I knew you would be the one to rescue me from my dreary life." The young elf started with, adding on: "Before I had met you, I thought all humans were the same, selfish scumbags that wanted to be superior to us ivierae. But you opened my eyes," He quipped, holding his master's hands. The master smiled as the elf continued his lovely speech. "You took me in as a slave just to set me free in your home. We've been through many hardships, but we always came out on top. Even if other humans can't accept our love, I would flaunt it 'til the day we die. And, even though life for is going to take a major turn after this day, I promise to stay by your side, and continue to love you." He gushed, kneeling down, revealing two rings. With the master's nod of approval, the love-struck slave slipped on the ring on them both. "And with these rings, we shall mercilessly murder those who dare to get in our way of eternal happiness."
